Would Jett be able to ride that era bike on those hard pack tracks at that level of speed? Would RC be able to race today's rutted tracks and be as smooth yet fast as what Jett is doing? We will never know, it would be a hell of a race to watch though.

James was not there, but Tim Ferry, (I thought he might drop the ball), put in 2 great come from behind rides that mimicked the best who ever came through a pack. Great rides, and domination from each. I am done going to pro races, (too expensive and controlled), and I bet I caught the best of the last.

It doesn't look like Stew is holding Ricky back; rather, it looks like Ricky is just keeping up. Some line Stew is faster but Ricky is making it up in the corners, I think. But Ricky seems to be eying a pass at that section for some time. I noticed Ricky changed his line on that right corner after the downhill. He was loosing time there. He made that adjustment a few laps before he made the pass. That is the area he set up before the pass.

Ricky C is by far the best in motocross and Jeremy M in Supercross. I feel with they both should race again for people to see that age does not matter. I know that in 6 months of training Jeremy can be ready for Supercross and Ricky ready for motocross. The reason they retire is they get burned out of many years of race no and all the hell that goes with it. It’s not age! They loose the eye of the tiger and just don’t care as much if they win or loose. I just think it would be awesome to see them do what Mike Tyson is doing. Motocross is so similar to boxing by having to be fit as well as being able to think quick. I would say they need to race maybe every other race and I’m sure they would get paid huge money to do so. People would show up just to see them race even if they didn’t do very well. No one expects them to win every race. That’s not realistic but they still have what it takes to fight to the front

@@shanewilliams7834 Shit, they have men trained into their 70’s that out perform 20 year olds in muscle and endurance. The reason Ricky or Jeremy can’t win or anyone at that age is because winning doesn’t matter to a person past the age of 30 usually. Also you have to remember they raced since they were little so motocross to them is just burnt. They want to do other things. Ricky and Jeremy might not be able to win but I would like to see them train about 20 40 year olds that have always been slim and fit and train them for motocross, tennis,football, baseball and because they aren’t burnt out on all of it I’m sure they would perform well. Now to be a front runner probably not. We had 40 you men line up on the gate today and only one winner so the chance of winning is very rare

He was a short/fat/ginger freckle face kid in public school, and they all got picked on. RC was picked on until he started winning amateur championships, so he had to keep on winning. It was school bullying that made RC the GOAT of MX. How do you like that for motivation?

It's just wild how RC consistently beat the supposed fastest man on the planet they called him outdoors race after race. Outdoors where speeds are much higher and your going much faster reaching 4th & 5th gear then on a slower Supercross track. Stewart was never the fastest man on the planet when Ricky was still racing but he may have been the most skilled supercross rider of all time when he didn't crash or when we conveniently dismiss the fact that he only won 2 sx titles and only reached 49 wins over a long 12 year premiere class ride. Ricky won 5 Sx titles with 48 wins in 7 1/2 years and he missed the entire 2004 Sx season after surgery when Reed won it.
